Manager Stock stated yesterday that lie will use as strong a line- ' up against the bearded visitors as he can get together. Due to an injury to Mclntire in yestcrddav’s practice, Gamble will go into right field and Martin will shift! to left with Johnson in center. The infield will be composed of Scarsella at first, Gomez at second, Connors or Outlaw at third and Harris at shortstop. Scar-sella may be spelled by Ross, a newcomer from Wilmington, and Orr, another Wilmington man, may be sent into the outfield. Heath is down for the catching duties while Cozad will start the gapie and probably be relieved by Moore, a hefty righthander, later in the tussle. Connors, named at the starting post on the hot corner, was brought into camp by Larry McPhail. lie is from Berkley, Cal., and was recommended by the same man who sent Mclntire to the Red camp at Bartlesville, Okla.A highlight of yesterday’s regu-, ular practics at R. M. I. Park was a series of running races which were staged in order to determine the fastest men on the squad. First the infielders were run as 1 a unit and Joe “Chili” Gomez, al-tho suffering from a sore foot, ! romped in a winner by about a foot and a half over Scarsella, with Outlaw and McCormack running n dead heat for the third po- ; sition. In the outfield sprints, “Handy Andy’ Crippen, who started as an outfielder, changed to a pitcher, and is now wearing the catcher’s padded mitt, came in first over Gamble, with Mclntire ] showing in third place. Phil “Slim” Cozad sprung a real surprise when he walked off with the honors in the sprint for pitchers and catchers combined. Ho- i garth was second and Werk third, jThen a finale for the whole 1 squad was run. In the big test I Crippen and Gamble ran a dead ’ heat at the 7j yard distance for : first honors. Cozad ran a very i good third and Mclntire came in fourth. Gomez, who had pulled } up lame, did not compete in tlie fi- ( na! event.Genera’ Manager McPhail and Frank Lnym*. business manager, were interested spectators in these proceedings and handed out a shift of green backs to the players winning the various events. r
